A flow regulating system for increasing a flow of cooling fluid supplied to a cooling system of a component of a gas turbine system is provided. The flow regulating system includes: a pneumatic circuit embedded within a section of the component, the pneumatic circuit including a set of interconnected pneumatic passages; and a pressure-actuated switch fluidly coupled to the pneumatic circuit. The pressure-actuated switch is activated in response to a formation of a breach in the section of the component and an exposure of at least one of the pneumatic passages of the pneumatic circuit embedded in the section of the component. The activation of the pressure-actuated switch increases the flow of cooling fluid supplied to the cooling system of the component.
